And Feverything you thought you had you Gmlost
But Fnow you'd never lose what you don't Gmhave

BbPrayers from Cabove, never Fanswered Aquite Bbenough
Now the Gmonly one you Bbmhave is Fyou

FWith this Cmcruel and bitter heart
You were Bbcold and in love
Left here Abnaked in the sun
FRun scared from this Cmcruel and bitter world
This has Bbonly begun as the Abbombs are busting off

Where Bbmfamilies son's are Fmrobbed Ebbeneath their Dbfeet

Our Fmeyes to the Ebsea, we Bbmthought that we had
A Fmcause for Ebsuffering, and Fmreason not to die alone
